While on SAR duties I watched 2 Mirage fighters being abandoned in flight - with the first one, the nose kicked down from the force of the ejection and it spiralled down into a swamp. The second continued unaffected, glided well out of the safety area and splashed down on a beach directly in front of a populated area. Nobody hurt (other than the pilots with spinal crushes.)

Been buzzed by F18s while on powerline inspections, been attacked in the circuit by dopey students in planks who only ever look into the circuit direction, Been attacked by a crapduster who didn't bother turning his radio on when entering a circuit.
